So lately I've been getting algae outbreaks. All over my LR and LS and glass. It's brown and the green thats hard to scrub off. Any idea? Nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, ammonia are all at 0.0 and my lights are on for 6 hours a day. I have 75lbs of both live rock and live sand. I have a sump/fuge of 20g. Tank has been up for four years. I do a 10-15% water change every week, and I have lots of cheato. Also I have recently added 1 BTA, 1 green star polyp, 6 hermit crabs, 3 emerald crabs, 1 cleaner wrasse, and one yellow tang. Could I have added to much at once? My bulbs are only a month old, my ph is 8.4 and salinity is 1.024-25, my temp of water is 78. I had to clean my glass 5 times today. Ugh is it normal to have this many problems on such an established tank????? It's so annoying.
